an ENGAGEMENT blog.

as of christmas day 2010 i am engaged to the most awesome, sweet, funny, cuddly and most of all AMAZING guy in the entire world!!

it all started with a HUGE box that two babies very much wanted to open, so a chunk of the wrapping paper was already missing.  of course, the big box was the last present for me to open.  and quite a few times i said to chris that i don't think i've done anything to deserve a box this big, but chris seemed to believe that i had.

upon opening the huge box, i saw a fuzzy green blanket.  it was a nice blanket, and i snuggled it, but apparently this was only a decoy.

underneath the blanket was another piece of cardboard, chris pulled it out and there was another really big wrapped box under it.  so i pulled it out and unwrapped it and opened that box to find some tissue paper and another box.  emptied it, unwrapped it and found another box.  this happens about five more times.  then i get to some nice looking christmas boxes.  opened it to find a smaller box, opened the smaller box to find a little black velvet box.  

now at this point most people would be suspicious.  but i remembered chris telling me about a diamond heart necklace that he had thought about getting me, but didn't at the last minute.  i thought he had just changed his mind and gotten it anyway.  i fully expected a heart-shaped pendant to be staring at me.  and before i opened it, chris told me i had to promise him something. . .

it was this.

and apparently i was being filmed the entire time and didn't notice.  but i didn't care.  and my reaction wasn't even 'yes' so much as it was 'tackle', but i think everyone could figure it out for themselves.

best christmas ever.

peace.

a horrible wrapping blog.

just so you know, i'm the worst present wrapper in the history of ever.

they look really nice from far away.

basically, i am either a too much paper or too little paper person.  so present wrapped by me have either patches covering the parts that my too-small sheet of wrapping paper didn't cover or big bulges where i had way to much paper but couldn't be bothered to cut it off.  only two this year have holes in them that i poked by accident with my own nails, so they have tape covering the holes.  D:

i was discussing my wrapping problems with chris and about how mandy was sitting on the couch making fun of my skills, and he told me to tell her that i wrapped them with love.

conveniently enough, i DID tell mandy i wrapped them with love, but apparently love is not enough to make up for these horribly wrapped packages.

so, my wrapping excuses are:  1. wrapped with love (which mandy doesn't believe) and 2. you're going to rip it off anyway, and i doubt you're going to check for paper patch jobs and extra tape beforehand.  so ha.

in other news, christmas cards!

this one came with pictures of adorable babies and sooper
awesome people.

this is the first card ever that is to me and chris!  it excites me!
our first joint christmas card!!

i also got a card from bethany and tommy, but i didn't get a picture of it before mom taped it to our christmas card wall.  D:

so yeah.  i haven't even taken a shower yet.  i should do that soon.  but first have wrap some more presents HORRIBLY.

peace.
